Well. This isn’t good. Glad no one was hurt. This is where I order my department’s ammo. [IMG:left]  [/IMG] | ||

More details: http://www.ultramaxammunition.com/home.html Article: http://rapidcityjournal.com/ne...ource=home-top-story More photos: http://rapidcityjournal.com/ne...-35db31a97f50.html#7 My dept bought these reloads for the range many years ago. My 229 worked fine, but many other guys had problems. Those may have been the guys who shoot and lube once a year. At range time. Still, I kept an empty box as a reminder never to buy the stuff. Bald 1, isn't this close to you?? | |||

Thanks ikdr. Sigmund, I should have clarified. We used to use their ammo. Still have some of it for old times sake. Their 223 was/is good practice stuff. They are a distributor as well. My department uses Speer and some Federal. We order through Ultramax. | |||

Fire? Looks like a range session with Ultramax. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Yidn, shreibt un fershreibt" "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind." -Bomber Harris | |||

Yup.  Black Hills Ammo and Ultramax aren't far from each other either. BATF will be investigating the cause of the fire. Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | |||

I had all those links handy as I had sent emails to some pals. I was about to post here when someone beat me to it! In my 12 years as a reserve LEO we hit the range 2x, sometimes 3X/year with our 229R/40s (I shot more on my own). We used American Eagle most of the time, but the one time we got reloads it was 180gr UltraMax. I'll never use that stuff again, I'll buy reliable ammo (Blazer Brass, AE, etc.) anytime. | |||

Please tell us Black Hills was not affected. I've never fired any, but I've read nothing but good about the company. UltraMax...no great loss. | |||
